Welcome !

I have been a practicing family physician for the past 25 years. I absolutely love what I do. We practice the full spectrum of Family Medicine including caring for adults {Internal Medicine}, treating children of all ages {Pediatrics}, handling outpatient surgical procedures {Surgery}, caring for seniors {Geriatrics}, treating work related injuries {Occupational Medicine}, caring for women and their unique healthcare needs {Obstetrics & Gynecology}, treating mental health issues {Psychiatry} and providing care in the home, the old fashioned house call, for seniors or the disabled unable to leave the confines of thier home. I am on the medical staffs of University of Illinois Medical Center , Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois and Little Company of Mary Medical Center. We have called Oak Park our home for over two decades and are delighted to remain here even in today's challenging healthcare environment. Our office manager and mother to all, Julie, will insure that you are treated the same way that we treat members of our family. We are particularly proud of the two generations of premedical and medical students who have matured into wonderful clinicians. The new theme for 2015 encompassing Minority Medical Education is an additional "1000 Physicians of Color by 2025" reflecting my goal of educating and mentoring future generations of culturally competent and compassionate African American physicians.
